Good to see this is back and not a big deal.  It was not down for long.  This is a reminder to myself to monitor how much I leave on exchanges.

It's normal that people get worried as soon as an exchange is not online. We have seen enough exchange drama where people lost a lot coins. Even an outage of 10 to 15 minutes is already enough to get people scared. That's why an exchange should improve their communication to its users when going offline for maintenance.
